Thirty Dirty Birds Lyrics

Thirty dirty birds
Sitting on a curb
Chirping and Burping
And eating
Dirty earthworms

Along comes Herbie
From thirty-third
And third
Saw the thirty
Dirty birds
Sitting on a curb
Chirping and Burping
And eating
Dirty earthworms
Boy he was
Disturbed

Never knew this was a song. Well personally, i think this is a very deep song. I can really relate to the undercurrents of emotion running through the sweeping chorus and the beautiful harmonys. The breathtaking lyrics just make it all the more stunning. A true classic of our time. If only they made more songs like this. In fact, all their songs should be like this. Come to think of it, all their songs should be this. With different names, and possibly different animals. Like marmosets.

deep, man, deep

Well, you see, the earthworms symbolize the underclass, the downtrodden, the minorities, be they minorities of religion, race, creed, sexual orientation, or whatever. Its not bad enough that these worms live their life out on a curb, on the harsh, sharp, hot, rough, unforgiving concrete, but NO! They are wontonly eaten and burped up by a whole flock of birds who not only sit around eating them when they are already defenseless enough, but have the nerve to SING as they do it! Then, Herbie walks by, and sees what happening. Herbie gets disturbed. Hopefully, Herbie takes action.

Okay, holy shit, I was kidding when I wrote that, but now it makes too much sense. I scare myself...
